(Gypsy,Swing) Chasing The Moon - Nuages - 2012, MP3, 256 kbps

Sydney based band, Chasing the Moon plays gypsy jazz in the style of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli with an energy and commitment that's reminiscent of the great jazz of days gone by. The joy is infectious. It makes you smile too.
There is freshness in the way different styles are combined, a mix of hot club with the blues, a touch of folk, flirting with Latin rhythms, lashings of swing and modern elements too.
The front-line comprises Kathy Bluff on lead vocals and violin, Paul Burjan on saxophones and flute and Peter Malone on guitar. Bluff's vocals are warm and soulful, leading us from intimate ballads to upbeat swing. Burjan ranges from gently floating flute to soaring soprano and grunting tenor sax. Malone's Django-influenced guitar gives the band its distinctive gypsy feel, driving the rhythm section and trading lines with the violin and sax.
The rhythm section of John Conley on double bass and Tony Keep on drums provides the best of grooves. Often in danger of stealing the show they are the rhythmic backbone of the band, playing sweet and in the pocket.
All members are highly accomplished musicians with previous engagements including Galapagos Duck, ABC Sinfonia, Castanet Club, Edinburgh Festival, Adelaide festival, Hey Ba Ba Re Bop, Happening Thang, Chain of Hearts, Hippos, Bushwhackers and Musica Viva. They bring this diverse range of experience to this new project creating an entertaining and musically rich experience.
